The Genie 55953GT is a genuine OEM Straight Grease Zerk, 1/4-28 designed for a wide range of Genie GR vertical mast lifts, GS scissor lifts, and GTH telehandlers. As a direct OEM replacement, this fitting matches the original specification, threading directly into the grease port without rework or adaptation. Cross-reference part number 55953GT against your parts manual to confirm fitment for your specific machine. Compatible models include the GR-8, GR-12, GR-15, GS-1530, GS-1930, GS-2032, GS-2632, GS-2046, GS-2646, GS-3246, GTH-636, GTH-1048, and GTH-1056.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Thread Integrity — Manufactured to Genie's original 1/4-28 fine-thread specification, ensuring a full, leak-free seat in the grease port every time.
- Straight-Body Design for Direct Access — The straight profile aligns cleanly with flush or open grease points, allowing a grease gun coupler to lock on without angular interference.
- Broad Genie Fleet Coverage — Fits GR runabout vertical mast lifts, GS scissor lifts across multiple platform sizes, and GTH telehandler models, making this a versatile stocking part for mixed Genie fleets.
- Consistent Lubrication Delivery — A correctly seated zerk fitting allows grease to flow through at the right pressure, protecting pivot pins, joints, and bearings from accelerated wear caused by inadequate lubrication.
- Operational Safety Through Proper Lubrication — On aerial lifts and telehandlers, lubrication at structural pivot points and steering components is a maintenance-critical function; a damaged or missing fitting can prevent proper greasing and lead to premature joint failure.
A grease zerk — also called a grease nipple or fitting — is the small one-way valve threaded into a lubrication port on a machine's pivot points, pins, bearings, and joints. When a grease gun coupler is pressed onto the fitting, it forces grease past a spring-loaded ball inside the zerk and into the component, displacing old lubricant and protecting metal surfaces from friction and corrosion. When a zerk fitting becomes stripped, corroded, or broken, grease cannot be delivered to the joint it serves, causing accelerated wear that can eventually lead to seized pins or structural play in lift components. Replacing a damaged fitting promptly with the correct OEM part keeps lubrication intervals effective and machine joints operating within their designed tolerances.
